Spotted doing the rounds of Geelong the other night. Sounds pretty nuts mate!
i just watched that video in post 1. love the sound! :goodjob:
Tough as mate
Finally some progress has started on getting the SS into a 10second pass, my Koni adjustable 90/10 shocks arrived today and my new 60lb injectors have been sent off to be flow tested and checked for my E85 tune next Saturday :) I have bought a 4cyl daily driver so the Ss can get a little more serious now. I am also removing the rear donut and changing to a uni setup for strength when racing. I will be taking the car to Calder park on the 16th of march for a test fingers crossed nothing breaks :)
With the current compression ratio of 10.9/1 the e85 should still see some increases in torque and hp but the idea is when I finally get some cnc ported heads I will raise the compression up to 12.5/1 which will net some bigger increases. Will be good too actually see what differences it will make with fuel change and tune only, will post the results next weekend..

Another quick update, my compcam rocker trunion upgrade showed up this morning so I will be having a play with them today and tomorrow will post some more pics once they are being put together. Also my injectors are back from being cleaned and flowed and will be ready for some Dyno time this weekend :)

woot!
side by side 10's???
Definetly mate thats the aim, just need mine to launch like yours hopefully with the 90/10's and 3.91 gears it should :)
definitely, although i'm confident mine can 1.4x :p
20mins after the trunions arrived I go to it. I couldnt beleive how easy this was all up it took just over an hour to have the whole set fitted and ready to put the clips on. If anyone wants any information or tips please inbox me. Will bolt them back the car tonight when my circlip plyers get delivered back to me.

Tomorrow is the day :) The car has been sitting on the dyno for a week now, ready for the E85 tune. The tuning was meant occur last Saturday but the temps inside the dyno room were above 45 degrees so we decided to re-schedule to tomorrow instead. I also purchased some new spark plug leads as they are the single item that i have not replaced since the engine rebuild last year. I ended up purchasing some moroso items. I will post results as soon as we start doing some power runs.

How did your trunions go mate? Any ones that are stiff to rotate?
Nar mate the trunions all went smoothly and they all rotated without a hassle.Quote:

This setup has never pushed out good numbers on the Dyno as previously it made high 260's low 270's rwks but on the track it ran 125mph which is all it matters to me.
The last peice of the puzzle was fitted up this morning I managed to pick up some ET drag Mickey thompson slicks which are 26X8.5x15 so I'm hoping this should help with consistency when I'm racing it next Friday. I havnt taken the car for a drive yet but I will on Monday and will definetly know weather it's picked up any torque or not.
